26. Arizona Cardinals ( 2-5) – The Cardinals look healthy coming off the bye week, as they head to Dallas for a Monday night matchup.

25. Washington Commanders (3-5) – This team looked lost against the Chiefs on Monday night, and now they head back home for a tough game against the red-hot Seahawks team.

24. Cincinnati Bengals (3-5) – Man, the Bengals really peed down their leg in Week 8. Up 14 points in the 4th quarter, and the defense blew it. Zac Taylor has to be on the hot seat.

23. Carolina Panthers (4-4) – The Panthers got steamrolled by the Bills in Week 8. Doesn’t get much easier in Week 9 at Green Bay.

22. Minnesota Vikings (3-4) – The Vikings were better off staying in Minnesota for an extra week off in Week 8. They looked god awful against the Chargers.

21. New York Giants (2-6) – The New York Football Giants have a bright future if they can nail some upcoming draft picks in 2026. Unfortunately, this season is a washout with all their young talent injured.
